Goddess Of The Rose: Number 4 in series

International bestselling author P C Cast (co-author of the House of Night series) brings us the magical and sensual Goddess series, which retells ancient myths giving them a sexy, modern twist - incredibly original, scorchingly sexy and utterly unputdownable.

It s not green fingers that have kept the Empousai family s roses blooming for centuries - it s the drops of blood that their women secretly sacrifice for their gardens. But Mikki would rather forget this family quirk and lead a normal life. Until the day she unwittingly performs a ritual and ends up in the strangely familiar Realm of the Rose. As its goddess, Hecate, reveals to her, Mikki has the blood of a high priestess running through her veins. And the realm has been waiting for her . . .

In a long ago flash of temper, Hecate cursed her Guardian beast with a slumber that only her priestess can undo - and Hecate is counting on Mikki to set things right. At first the beast terrifies Mikki - but soon he intrigues her more than any man ever has. But the only way he and the realm can be saved is for Mikki to sacrifice her life-giving blood - and herself . . .
